Twin is a modular bench with a social character. The main configuration of the central bench obliges anyone who sits to cooperate with a partner to serve as a counterweight on the opposite side, the front view evokes the icon of the scale, a symbol of fairness and equality.

In the others configurations Twin bench can turn into a swinging bench by adding the tracks or in a standard bench by moving the trestles at the opposite side, a dynamic object made to fit with different everyday life situations.

The joint between the seat and the stand is the structural core of the project, deliberately emphasised by the chromatic contrast of the components it add a visual character to the product.
